Here at Google Sightseeing we’re big fans of structures that hold the title of “world’s largest something” and at 212 feet (65 meters) The Texas Star at Fair Park is the largest ferris wheel in the Western Hemisphere. The Texas Star opened in 1985 and has a maximum capacity of 260 persons (ground level shots). Sadly there’s no high-res shots of the world’s largest ferris wheel, the Tempozan Harbor Village Ferris wheel in Japan. Thanks: Chris & Jon
